“This legislation [German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act], in force since 1 January 2023, mandates that companies with at least 1,000 employees identify and mitigate human rights and environmental violations across their supply chains.”
DISPUTED
While Wikipedia and web sources confirm the Act's purpose and start date (Jan 1, 2023), there is a contradiction regarding the employee threshold. One source states it applied to companies with >3,000 employees on Jan 1, 2023, and those with >1,000 employees on Jan 1, 2024, contradicting the claim that the 1,000-employee threshold was in force from Jan 1, 2023.
